recording filter

wats good yall i looked in the manual and couldnt find anything on this. is there a way i can take a sound, start it at like 0 filter and record me moving the wheel to make the filter slowly go up? the only workaround i can think of is chopping the sample into 8th notes across 16 pads and increasing the filter by like 7 on each pad. it would be much easier just to be able to record that in tho. any insight is appreciated.

Not AFAIK. Nice workaround though.

you can't do it in real time

Try and use the envelopes to create the sweeps you want!

what do you mean by that? what envelope?

He ment the envelope for the filter. Go to program -> highlight the cutoff frq and hit "Open Window".
Set the Amount to 100 and experiment with attack and decay.

Well I thought about using the NV Slider but i doesn't work cause it doesn't change the cutoff in realtime (while the sample play). Then I thought about sysex and it the possibilities this could give. I've searched the net but didnt find sysexmaps for the 2000 only the guy named foge1 who wrote a sysexmap for the mpc 4000. Watch his video. He did a great job.

but this couldn't be done in the mpc2000 cause it doesn't regognize sysex for the "sound generator". Thats sad

peace

Yeah thats a real bummer about the 2k. You have to continously trigger a sample while toggling the NV slider to get a sweeping filter effect. In other words the MPC's sequencer doesnt record "smooth" parameter changes, only "triggered" in note data.

I mean hell, I also have a KORG es-1...and it came out right around the same time as the 2k. And with the es-1 you record both smooth and triggered sample parameter data.
This is especially for helpful for kinds of automation tricks.
